The Revolutionary Communist Group is a communist group in the United Kingdom. It evolved from the "Right Opposition" of the International Socialists led by David Yaffe. The Right Opposition founded the Revolutionary Communist Group after being expelled from the IS.
In its turn the RCG gave rise to the Revolutionary Communist Tendency led by Frank Richards, a cadre name for University of Kent sociologist, Frank Furedi. It developed into the Revolutionary Communist Party which published the review The Next Step.
The RCG rapidly developed a positive view of some of the traditional communist parties such as the South African Communist Party and from that position developed into a more orthodox communist grouping with a particular fondness for Cuba. They continue to publish their paper Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! more or less monthly.
By the end of the 1990s the much diminished RCG was experiencing internal problems as members alleged that the leadership was bureaucratic and failing to train the membership in Marxism-Leninism. The result was a split of the dissidents, calling themselves Communist Forum, but more often known by the name of their strident newsletter, Fightback group. If anything Fightback is even more Third Worldist than the RCG and has opposed workers struggles in Britain.
